An impressive thread of praise and worship runs through the career of Michael W. Smith. After all, he's penned two of today's finest modern praise songs ("Great Is the Lord" and "Agnus Dei"), and he was the creative genius behind Exodus, a brilliant collection of worship material. Yet that same artistic spirit seems sadly lacking on Worship, Smith's first solely praise and worship release. All parts are assembled, with Smith on vocals and keyboards, and an all-star choir of Amy Grant, Phillips, Craig & Dean, Chris Rice, Cindy Morgan, and others backing him on this live release. But outside of a few selected tracks ("Let It Rain" and "Draw Me Close"), Worship falls flat. Smith's decision to cover the day's most popular praise songs and not focus on new material of his own weakens the record's impact. In fact, "Purified," one of two studio tracks on the release, was cowritten by Smith and his wife, and it's the CD's brightest moment. While Worship is not a forgettable release, it is, unfortunately, predictable. --Michael Lyttle

1) Good stuff...   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I'll be honest in admitting that I don't really understand the concept of a "worship concert." The strange intersection between performance and worship is somewhat unsettling to me and murkier in this setting than during a worship service. With that said, I enjoy this album. Many of the songs are recycled from other songwriters, which is unusual for a Smitty album. And even though some of them are somewhat old, they're all arranged in unique forms and provide something new for the listener. The arrangement of "Agnus Dei" isn't my favorite, but that is still a magnificent song. "Let It Rain" is obnoxiously repetitive, though it does provide a hauntingly beautiful melody. This album isn't particularly spectacular and doesn't add much of note to the contemporary worship library. But for fans of Michael W. Smith's sound, it's certainly a worthwhile album to own. I enjoy popping it in and singing along with these familiar songs.
